Bradley has a good shot. He has improved quite a bit since the first fight not to mention the injuries he had. That being said, even though Pac got knocked out, I still think he can win this one. Bradley is far from a power puncher, even less so since he moved up. Marquez was able to touch him on several occasions and conventional wisdom says Pac is faster and a harder puncher than Marquez. It will be a good fight but I'm not gonna order that one. I like Pac by decision.

Manny and Tim both have had their chins dented, especially Bradley who probably fought for 10-12 rounds vs ruslan with a concussion.. I didn't like how Bradley reacted the few times jmm was able to land flush shots cleanly on Tim, he seemed to be alittle shaky but jmm wasn't able to land constitently or have the power to really take advantage.. I think if manny can catch him, he can end Bradley early... I don't think it will be a hatton type ko for manny, but I can see him hurting Tim and overwhelming him like he did morales and Barrera
Tim doesn't have the brutal counter punching with power like jmm does, and I don't think he will be able to hurt mannyOriginally posted by arraamis View PostI would have to disagree on several points ....
While Bradley did suffer the effects of some very hard shots, he finished the fight vertical. On the other side Pac, suffered the most brutal KO in his career and was out cold.
The two situations are not debatable in terms of impact. Pac suffered the most damaging effect and his last fight did nothing in the way of determining his current punch resistance. The fight with Rio's was a "Get back on the horse" fight.
Sure the argument can be made that Bradley isn't a big puncher, but after a cold-KO, not much is really needed. So, Pac IMHO cannot be as aggressive as he was with Rios ... And he cannot fight like he's 100% because I don't believe he is.
Based on what I see as relevant points from both sides ... This is a pure toss-up fight -- More so than before. Because Bradley is going to box more than brawl, and Pac is going to be conscience that he is somewhat degraded and may not have the punch resistance he used to have. Which equates to a more subdued attack .... i.e. Not the Pac of old.
I'm a Pacquiao fan but have huge respect for Bradley. The guy is a beast!Last edited by DominiBox; 03-02-2014, 08:49 PM.

Pacquiao was landing those straight lefts with regularity early in the fight. But Bradley's commitment to body shots slowed Pac down as the fight progressed.
Pac's best chance here is to knock Bradley out early. If not, he might in for a very long night.

Pac hasn't stopped anyone since Cotto and that was 5 years ago. Now he's going to start KOing guys again? Yeah Right.

provodnikov almost knocked out bradley. now imagine someone with more power, speed, volume punching and footwork. bradley would be lucky if walked out of the ring in a wheel chair instead of a stretcher
